"We are interested in taking the audience into a world, to which they can relate, yet it feels new to them. We want them to see the deeper screen of their own lives. The tempo of our everyday existence is so hectic, that we are likely to overlook some of the essential things that drive our behaviour and our actions. We want the audience to stop for a moment and think about what they do, about how the past defines the present, how the present shapes the future, and how much better the future might be, if they had not done some of the things they'd done to each other in the past. We want to sensitise people to the things they often do to each other without thinking of the consequences" - Clara Armand

   Clara has also taught acting at Guildford Conservatoire, East 15 Acting School, Rose Bruford College of Speech & Drama, Middlesex University, Brunel University, Buckinghamshire New University and the Stratford Circus Theatre.

Review:

The Evening Standard wrote:

                                         "On the Borderline is a captivating production, which blends live theatre

                                           and video. Beautifully directed and designed, it is a visually enticing

                                          ensemble piece. Natalie Jacobs and Daniel Tyler-Smith give moving

                                         performances as Courtney and the 'angel boy' Jaz." - S. Toppland
